What businesses are asking for

This isn't a job board, and these aren't reposted ads. It's the real demand businesses bring us directly, aggregated and anonymised - the problems fractional experts are being asked to solve right now.

A read on where fractional demand is strongest this month, drawn from the real, anonymised requests businesses bring to Greenlight. The ranking is aggregated to the area of business; each example is a real, anonymised ask that a business agreed we could share, with identifying details removed, and we never name a buyer. Nothing appears until there is genuine demand behind it.

   Change & transformation is having a moment, and still climbing.We've put in a new system but teams are avoiding it and workarounds are spreading. We need adoption, not more technical fixes.
2. 2
   Operations is drawing strong interest, and rising.Our fulfilment operation won't cope with peak season at the current rate. We need a short, practical plan for capacity, stock and service.
3. 3
   Risk & compliance is on the rise.Regulators are asking questions we can't answer consistently across our reports and systems, and we're not confident we meet the new rules.
4. 4
   Sales is on the rise.Several parts of the business are underperforming and margin is falling. We need someone to work out whether it's the range, the pricing, the process or the execution.
5. 5
   Data & AI is in steady demand.Our analysts spend days reconciling sales, margin, inventory and customer data from different platforms. We need someone to build a dependable data foundation.
6. 6
   Finance is in steady demand.We're a startup of eight people, we've raised a seed round, and we need finance leadership a day a week to get investor-ready.
7. 7
   Customer & service is on the rise.Customer complaints are rising but every department has a different explanation. We need someone to map the experience and fix the points where service breaks.
8. 8
   Marketing is on the rise.Our offer has become confusing and every salesperson describes us differently. We need someone to sharpen the positioning and rebuild the marketing story.
